BPC 157 Stable Therapeutic indications

We are searching for active molecules in the human body for better ways of healing and preventing diseases. We aim to improve understanding of the human body own healing processes and healing molecules from the human body to improve standards of care or establish new ones in healing humans.

At Diagen Company we believe that the immune system, its own healing agents and human body own healing molecules are the fundamental drivers for preventing and curing diseases.

 

Our goal is to translate our discovery of Body Protecting Compound (BPC) and our BPC 157 Stable into therapies for various diseases to cure patients.

 

Based on positive results in our animal studies with BPC 157 Stable we have determined the following indications of BPC 157 Stable which would be further needed to evaluate on Clinical trials:

BPC 157 and Gastrointestinal tract related diseases; Chron's disease and gastric tract diseases

Gastrointestinal tract related disease, Chron’s disease, ulcers in any part of the gastrointestinal tract, general anti-inflammatory activity, gastrointestinal inflammatory disease, acute pancreatitis

In studies we have demonstrated that BPC 157 may equally counteract both COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition (counteracting the noxious effects of standard NSAIDs and celecoxib on all lesions) and additional NOS blockade.

Study Drug
Indication
Study results
BPC 157 Stable – DIAGEN
Hypertension treatment and healing
(Blood pressure, Lungs hypertension, Pyloric sphincters)
Positive

BPC 157 therapy exerts the NO release of its own as a modulator controlling effect and substantiates the counteraction of the adverse effects of either NOS blockade or NOS over-stimulation. In particular, for a vascular recovery, there was the counteraction of L-NAME-hypertension and the pro-thrombotic effect as well as the counteraction of L-arginine-hypotension and the anti-thrombotic effect. It is likely that these counteractions might also have occurred due to the particular effect on thrombocyte function maintenance without affecting coagulation pathways, particularly controlling vasomotor tone through the activation of the Src-Caveolin-1-eNOS pathway (note, pulmonary arterial hypertension was also counteracted.

Rapid blood recirculation
(Occlusion of the inferior caval vein blood recirculation, Occluded Superior Mesenteric Artery and Vein, Primary Abdominal Compartment Syndrome, Venous occlusion)
Positive

Myocardinal infarction & Brain stroke

BPC 157 therapy by rapidly activated collateral pathways counteracted the vascular and multi organ failure concomitant to major vessel occlusion and, similar to noxious procedures reversed the initiated multicausal noxious circuit of the occlusion/occlusion-like syndrome. Severe intracranial (superior sagittal sinus) hypertension, portal and caval hypertensions, and aortal hypotension were attenuated/eliminated. Counteracted were the severe lesions in the brain, lungs, liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. In particular, progressing thrombosis, both peripherally and centrally, and heart arrhythmias and infarction that would consistently occur were fully counteracted and/or almost annihilated. Published in Biomedicines, World J Gastroenterol, Pathophysiology
